Hello.
Please review the fix for jdk 9, which is also targeted for jdk 8u20.
Description:
We have two codepaths to draw a raster to the opengl:
  - via glDrawPixels
  - via intermediate texture.
We empirically checked, what way is better, based on benchmarks. Became 
obvious that on intel devices the glDrawPixels is slower than 
intermediate texture, and this is a bottleneck when the scrolling is used.

j2bench is not properly cover retina case, but according to some of my 
tests results is 2-3 times better.

There is no regressions on windows:
